“Blairaqi” and ‘Bliar’ apologists will continue to “fill their pockets” - but now those pockets won’t be so full.

And I must add that “manner of being” contrives to fill their pockets.

Yes, I don’t think they are wicked, or at least not wicked “by themselves”, but they are not stupid either.

It’s a “manner of being” in accordance with the circumstances. They have been instructed to do “something” and they just toe the line by any means. I think those who believe them are yet more stupid.

Doublethink born out of a ‘good’ education, AC.

The biggest factor in all this can of worms is not our “leaders’” conscious wickedness, but their STUPIDITY - most of them [certainly including Blair] really believe the twaddle they spout about ‘defending liberty’, ’spreading democracy’ etc. etc. This makes combatting their mistaken policies even more difficult than if they were deliberate humbugs.

I stand corrected - there are a number of other references to Orwell’s “Don’t let it happen. It dependson you” - as well as Timothy Garton Ash (1998 not 1996).

But none have identified these words as Orwell’s last-known published words - until now.

That is what makes these words so significant - in my view - and I am still reeling from astonishment that this has not been brought out before by others.

And here are some smaller worms crawling out :

The Henry Jackson Society and the Euston Manifeso Group :

Orwell’s last-known published words (June 1949) :

“DON’T LET IT HAPPEN. IT DEPENDS ON YOU”

Why have these last words never been put on the Internet until now - except a ‘casual’ mention by Timothy Garton Ash in 1996 ?

In an attempt to reason why, an ungodly can of worms is now likely to open up on both sides of the Atlantic - and not before time.

The CIA is one such worm…the biggest one in the can so far…
